As Jessica Simpson travels around the globe to film her reality show, The Price of Beauty, it seems that she is learning to handle the criticism and media blows when it comes to her beauty and her body.  Her father Joe Simpson recently told Us Magazine that filming the new show has been good for Jessica because since she is always under scrutiny it is good for her to see how other parts of the world view beauty.  For example, while visiting in Uganada the beauty ambassador there knew about Jessica’s struggles with the media and the two talked about how beauty comes from within, it’s not what is on the outside.  Joe explained,

“In Uganda, we sat in a fattening hut because, in Uganda … fat is beautiful.  So the bigger you are, the more beautiful you are. She was with a girl who had been in a hut preparing for her wedding for two months and 25 days on a 5,000 calorie-a-day diet.”

Most girls head straight to the freezer for a carton of ice cream after a big breakup, but not Jessica Simpson, she’s heading to the gym.  Over the past year as Jessica was sporting a fuller figure many were speculating that it was because she was enjoying herself with her then boyfriend, Tony Romo.  It’s not uncommon for two lovebirds to pack on the pounds as they snuggle on the sofa eating pizza over the weekend instead of out dancing with friends.  But now that Jessica and Tony are officially split a source has revealed that it was Tony’s breakup threats that caused Jessica to eat.

“The whole thing wasn’t as traumatic for Jessica as everyone made it out to be,” he said. “She’s a confident and naturally beautiful girl who works hard.”
